Victoria Beckham Spring 2012

I was really excited to attend my first ever Victoria Beckham presentation during New York Fashion Week this morning.

It seems like my anticipation was shared because everyone arrived very early which almost never happens.

The show started just after 10am following 2 moments of silence in observance of the tenth anniversary of 9/11 at 9.59am and 10.03am.

Once again Victoria took things to another level with this classic sporty collection.

Her signature exposed zippers and figure hugging dresses were on display, but she also presented some drop-waist dresses with feather light pleated skirts – which were super cute – and elegant sporty outerwear.

Oversized jackets with hoods and zippers were paired with short tennis style skirts and leather caps by Stephen Jones.

Colour-blocking continues for Spring 2012 as Mrs Beckham combined zesty orange with navy blue on both dresses and bags.

Speaking of bags I was sitting next to Tina from BagSnob.com who was raving about how the bags are of a quality which she’s only seen at Celine and Hermes, and she knows her stuff.

The bag collection ranged from oversized totes, to VB’s signature structured clutches, to supple leather shoulder bags which some models carried as clutches with the chain wrapped around their wrists.

The other key accessories were the Christian Louboutin shoes. Pumps with a leather ankle cuffs and gladiator flats were presented.

Oh… I have seen the slideshow on style.com and I am a bit disapointed. I was really exicted to see the new collection but, apart from the figure hugging dresses and some of the coats, I am hardly impressed. She definitely took things to an other level, but I am not sure this is a good thing…
Did you like it? How was the general impression after the show?

Truly surprised by how good this collection is! She didnt lose her VB feel either, its just more sharply fashion forward than before,s ow ell done. And the bags,? Oh the bags! Wonderful, i also am MAD about the shoes!

Interesting you mentiod Stone as a celeb you could see in this, em too! I would just add Tilda Swinton, come on! She would rock so many of the looks!

I’m not impressed, at all. Her clothes cost more than other brands’ and they’re too simple, or not flattering. Some of them seem a deja vu. But I must admit that the bags are quite beautiful. I would be surprised of the contrary, since she collects Hermès’ bags.

I love Victoria’s designs as I have dresses from each of her collections but I have to say that I don’t see much today that I like as before. Her Fall 2010 seems to be her best collection so far. She does release dresses that didn’t appear on her runway shows so I hope that those will be better.

To each his/ her own… But I would like to say that VB is growing as a designer… She is showing her flexibility as a designer, but not losing her trademark… As she tries newer things each season, not everyone may be receptive to it… But I strongly support her collection… It’s far from being boring and one should really look at her clothes and bags in person (the detailing and quality is really good!)…

Love love love this collection, she has really progressed as a designer and has taken it to another level! Only thing i’m not a fan off are the hats, but i get the point…sporty, but otherwise i love everything else, I’m loving the new sort of trend she might be doing, very young and easy springs, and formal chic fall collections.

@ M., you took the words right of my mind.
& once again pleased to see FC established as a force to reckon with.One step closer to the stylist job!
Was A. Wintour there too? Now THAT would be recognition for VB

I have many of her dresses as they flatter a woman with curves. However as beautiful as they look I am unsure this will be the case with this collection. The orange and navy dress is lovely but.Also just to note the cost of her dresses for fall 2011 increased dramatically.
